What is Benchmarking?

Benchmarking provides…

• A method to compare the energy use of similar buildings over a given period of time.

• The ability to conduct an “apple to apple” comparison using data to assess a building’s relative energy performance in comparison to the energy intensity of other known buildings.

4 4

EPA’s Benchmarking ToolThe US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA’s) ENERGY STAR®

Portfolio Manager:

• Is a free secure online energy management and tracking tool to help commercial buildings benchmark their energy usage

• Allows tracking and assessment of energy and water consumption of a single building or across an entire portfolio of buildings

• Can help a building owner or manager set investment priorities, identify under-performing buildings, verify efficiency improvements, and receive EPA recognition for superior energy performance

5 5

Portfolio Manager Provides:For All Buildings:• A weather normalized and non-weather normalized Energy Use

Intensity (EUI) values (kbtu/square foot) and annual energy consumption (kbtu)

• Direct, indirect and total greenhouse gas emissions• Ability to track financial performance information• Tools to set baselines & goals for % improvements over time• Reports and graphs to assess trends• Data for compliance and participation with a variety of emerging

state, local, and federal regulations and voluntary programs For Eligible Buildings (As Defined By Portfolio Manager):• Eligible building types can also receive an ENERGY STAR energy

performance rating of 1-100

Benefits of Benchmarking

• Identify and prioritize energy efficient opportunities

• Verify and monitor pre- and post-project energy use through changes in operations/equipment

• Track GHG emissions, and energy costs • Identify under-performing facilities• Assess effectiveness of current operations,

policies and practices• Assist in planning: set goals, targets, and

timelines• Compare your building’s energy use to similar

building types

AB 1103 – Nonresidential Building Benchmarking Law• October 2007: Governor signed AB 1103 into law • Phase One of AB 1103

– January 1, 2009: Utilities must provide consumption data upon request from customer

• Phase Two of AB 1103 – January 1, 2011*: Non-residential building owners are

required to disclose the U.S. EPA ENERGY STAR®

Portfolio Manager Statement of Energy Performance and other documents created in Portfolio Manager of the property for the sale, lease, or refinancing of an entire building.

*Implementation of AB 1103 has been delayed from January 2011 to July 1, 2012

12 12

Draft AB 1103 Implementation Schedule

• Draft AB 1103 schedule for disclosure of benchmarking data during sale, lease, or re-finance of an entire non-residential building

– July 1, 2012: Buildings > 50,000 square feet– January 1, 2013: Buildings > 10,000 sq ft – July 1 , 2013: Buildings >5,000 sq ft

California Energy Commission Revised Draft Regulations: Nonresidential Building Energy Use Disclosure Program

Draft Regulations: Title 20, Division 2, Chapter 4, Article 9, Sections 1680 – 1685CEC-400-2010-004-SD2 (September 2011 Draft Regulations)

13 13

Draft AB 1103 Definition of Nonresidential Building

• “Nonresidential Building” means a building of an occupancy type A, B, E, I-1, I-2, M, R1, S, and type U parking garages, as defined in the California Building Code, title 24, section 302 et seq. (2007).

Nonresidential building types include but are not limited to:– Offices - Retail and wholesale stores; – Restaurants - Theaters– Schools - Storage facilities – Commercial garages– Factories and other industrial buildings– Churches, and other places of assembly; – Hospitals and other health care facilities;

14 14

FAQ’s on AB 1103• Who is responsible for benchmarking a building?

– The building owner or his/her/its authorized agent• Would a building have to be benchmarked if one tenant in

a multi-tenant building starts a lease?– No, AB1103 only applies to a sale, lease, or

refinancing of the entire building.• How does AB 1103 tie into a new building permit?

– AB 1103 only applies to existing buildings (those buildings with at least 12 months of energy usage records).

• Is AB1103 triggered by the renewal of a lease?– Yes, if the entire building’s lease is being renewed.

15 15

Benchmarking Helps Buildings Meet CA’s Other Legislative Requirements • Governor’s Executive Order & California’s Green Building

Initiative– Mandates 20% improvement in building performance by

2015 based on 2004 baselines for state buildings.• AB32 (The Global Warming Solutions Act)

– Requires greenhouse gas emissions tracking with its greenhouse-tracking tool

• San Francisco Existing Commercial Buildings Energy Performance Ordinance

– Non-residential owners report benchmarking annuallyBenchmarking helps buildings earn the ENERGY STAR

label or meet the requirements for LEED certification

ENERGY STAR Commercial Buildings Program• ENERGY STAR is a symbol of superior energy performance

– Recognized by over 75% of Americans

• Industry Standard:

– 100,000 buildings measured energy performance

– 12,000 buildings earned the ENERGY STAR across 50 states (10” x 12” bronze plaque)

• Prevent GHG emissions equal to the electricity use of 60 million American homes every year

– Ex: Parking

28 28

Approach to Entering Vacant Space• If vacant space averages more than 10% of the building

floor area over the past 12 months, vacant space must be input in Portfolio Manager as a separate Office space. For the vacant space, use the following operating characteristics:• Weekly Operating Hours = 0

• Workers on Main Shift = 0

Tracking Green Power PurchasesWhen entering renewable energy power purchases into Portfolio

Manager:• Select the Generation Method:

– Biogas– Biomass– Geothermal– Small Hydropower– Solar– Wind

• Select the location of where the green power was generated: – Specific electricity generation plant – Unknown generation plant but known eGRID sub-region– No information about the location available

• The ability to specify the Generation Period in month/year format, including future dates, enables the Green Power Purchase time period to be accurately represented.
